Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, the newly appointed Chairperson of the Organized Reporting and Accountability Leadership (ORAL) Team, has pledged that the committee will operate without imposing any financial burden on the state.
The ORAL Team, formed by President-elect John Dramani Mahama, is tasked with gathering information on acts of corruption and ensuring accountability once Mahama assumes office.
The team’s mandate aligns with Mahama’s anti-corruption agenda, which was a key feature of his 2024 campaign.
In a post shared on social media on Wednesday, December 18, following the team’s inaugural meeting, Ablakwa confirmed that all five members of the committee had agreed to serve on a pro bono basis.
He emphasised that the team would not be receiving any salaries, allowances, per-diems, or fuel coupons, ensuring that none of their activities would incur costs to taxpayers.
“The ORAL Team held its first meeting at 2pm today and has resolved to work gratis. We shall not be receiving salaries, allowances, per-diems or fuel coupons. None of our activities will come at a cost to the taxpayer. We continue to count on your support, let’s do this for God and Country. Ghana First
